Past minutes where approved with amendments, to reflect the election of Mary Vincent as Chairman

General Business
Citizens Richard and Laurie Byron spoke of flowers being stolen from a grave site. Mary Vincent and
Bob Keating explained that it is an on going problem and that the police where aware of it, the Board
requested reports in the upcoming months. The Board instructed Bob Keating to notify the Town
Manager, so that the Selectmen will know.
Robert Keating explained the rules with regards to planters etc., that they have been in place since
1929. He offered Mr. & Mrs. Byron to purchase a small tree in memory of his mother, this seemed
acceptable.
Bill Brown explained the motion made at Town Meeting, the $25,000 will go into the benefits, not
salaries as proposed in the warrant. This way the Board can control it next year.
Mary Vincent and Bill Brown where re-appointed for three more years by a vote of the Board of
Selectmen.
Receipts
Receipts are down approximately $10,000 in misc. for the year. Difficult to forecast this revenue.
